Despite criticising others, Akmal lavished his praise on Faheem Ashraf, saying, “I used to say that there is a need to play with a genuine all-rounder. Look, Faheem Ashraf has saved the team from insult. Otherwise, Pakistan would have been bundled out for 80."

He questioned the Pakistan batters’ technique towards playing against the swing and bounce.
“None of the players were serious despite Pakistan's shortcomings with the exception of the head coach," he said.
Akmal said, "The players were flashing smiles when getting out,” said the former wicketkeeper."
“Our batters get exposed to the tough conditions,” maintained Akmal.
